Quantum memory device could make real-world quantum internet possible

A quantum memory device can store information at room temperature – a step towards building a quantum internet that could transmit secure data across fibre-optic cables

A compact device that manipulates atoms to store quantum information could be a step towards building a quantum internet that could transmit exceptionally secure information across fibre-optic cables.

Devices that store quantum information, known as quantum memory, often consist of a maze of small components strewn across large tables, and typically require high vacuum or extreme cooling technology that can be sensitive to the tiniest of disturbances.
